It is very hard to complete this mission. There were days when we were the defenders for 10+ battles in a row. If you want to achive it, you have to constantly enter and leave games until you find a good one where your team attacks and you have a chance to capture a point. Moreover there are several types of games where you are the attacker team, but you still can’t capture points, for example the train escorts or the destruction mode, where the scoreboard shows the point as “captured” but the mission doesn’t allows it as a capture.
So you have to find a regular invasion or assault game (or conquest) where your team is on the attacker side to complete this mission. That is nonsense, we want to play Enlisted, not battle-roulette…
Either remove the mission completely, or change it to “win a battle as the attacker side” to make it easier to achive. And it would be nice to have a choice in the menu whether we want to play an offensive or defensive battle. Then you can add a “win a battle as the defender side” mission too if you want a counterpart for it. Conquest and confrontation could be set as an offensive battle for both sides, since you have to capture points and hold them to win the battle. Then you have to simply win one of those battles, which would be much easier.
Another option is to consider switching campaigns.
On Berlin, the Soviets seem to be the ones capturing about 90% of the time.
On Normandy, the Allies seem to be the ones capturing about 90% of the time.
On Stalingrad, Tunisia and Moscow it seems a little more even, but I could be wrong.
There is a daily task for winning battles, I had one the other day that wanted 3 wins, but I believe there’s another one that requires 2 wins.
You can also change the Daily Task by clicking the the revolving arrows that show up to the left side of the task. You have to hover the mouse pointer over it, but it is there.
This just sucks as i either have to not skip side missions most of which suck, or go play games i don’t like- desert untill i can cap or go solo custom afk.
It should be changed long ago, it’s the only main task that can be uncompletable in many matches, like destruction, defense invasion, defense assault or even train.
With more game modes coming it just gets worse and worse.
Or do You prefer having more deserters and afks in Your games?
It’s a game notorious for its grind. Suck is going to be built in to the design.
I think people who leave miss the potential of a close/fun/challenging game. But it personally doesn’t bother me. How bad does it bother you?
Seeing 5-7 desertes in losing side in now no uncommon.
I don’t care as i do i myself.
But it’s not healthy for the game, new players come, see this shitshow and nope after few matches.
One problem leads to another, and i know i say this a lot here, but playing against bots get boring quick, and this games playerbase is already on life support.
You could always reroll tasks?
Just go play custom match.
Below Lake Conquest, 2 bots.
Press X and then AFK.
Pro tip (sort of):
If you are defending, being inside a cap zone when it falls to the enemy will STILL award you a valid cap for the task.
Don’t ask why, but it works.
“Another option is to consider switching campaigns.”
I comletly played out the moscow and normandy campaigns, and want to farm the rest. Why should I play a campaign where I don’t get any campaign score? It’s again non sense, I don’t want to waste time to play fully completed campaigns just to complete a bad designed mission. The game shouldn’t force campaigns that players don’t want to play.
“You can also change the Daily Task by clicking the the revolving arrows”
Yes, once. And after each 2 completed missions. So if you have no more rerolls, you are stuck with these stupid missions like this, or the “play x battles in stalingrad campaign” which is a pay to play campaign and free to play players can’t do anything in it. If I had infinite rerolls, you’d be right.
Yes, but that’s not a solution… There is a bad mission design, devs should rethink it to give better gaming experience to players. Forced to AFK is not the best gaming experience in an FPS shooter.
Yes I’m having this problem today, six battles so far today I think, and I wasn’t able to get a capture, as mentioned above you can if you manage to survive while the enemy is taking the zone get a capture, of course that’s kind of difficult to do what with them capturing and killing everything they’re in the process I think I’ve only actually managed this one time.
But it’s kind of a crapshoot, you might go all day and never get a capture…
But even still I never actually switch this one, there are others that are actually far worse that I do rotate, killing with a meme weapon, or grenades or even the flamethrower Are even worse, sometimes you’ll get lucky and get a bunch of kills of the times not and you can drag on for days before you finally accomplish them so at least for me compared to those this is a lesser evil by far.
Neither of those statements is true. You can play Stalingrad without paying a dime. You can also be lethal with even the starting rifle. Bolt actions behave differently in that campaign.
You’ve been here long enough (since April of last year), are you sure it isn’t time for a break from Enlisted? These aren’t new issues you’re listing, they’re just grinding your gears extra hard today…
Repeat after me…
I DON’T HAVE TO DO ALL MY DAILY TASKS! IT’s NOT A JOB!!
Also, what the OP said!
I wish they would change it so to include capture a point or have XY defense kills, problem solved!
Lots of players have complained about this.
At least now we have custom match.
Usually a custom match with proper settings ends ~5min. So, just AFK and do something else.
Interesting. I didnt know that.
bumping because this daily task is still problematic
oh i guess it probably got patch by now
Probably. Wrote that comment before my duties, lol.
I think personally planting a bomb that explodes in Demolition mode earns a player a “capture now”, but Armored Train progress does not. Regardless, since there is no way to guarantee that you will be put in a match where you CAN capture points, this daily task should be reworked.
